RBS Marketindex and Barclay Barx have a retail division. UBS, if you have a spare 100K. Also Saxobank, if you want to call them a bank. RBS and UBS wont take US citizens. Especially UBS, not even big accounts.
Banks similar to Citi that offer retail forex?

That looks like a cheap solution. Unfortunately none of these firms (etrade, schwab etc, not even MB Trading) can compete with Interactive Broker's universal account, where you can trade fx, bonds, futures, options and stocks from a single account. ...

If you get 45% back from those 0.48, its still 0.31 per side, which comes out at 0.8 pips per roundturn in Eur/Usd in commissions.

If you want to compare to an all-in qute like Oanda, you need to calculate 2x commission (since we compare round-turn) and account for quote-ccy (in eur/usd). 2 x 0.48 x 1.3050 = ~1.25 pips in commissions alone, plus what ever spread.

Looks like min. deposit is $10K now. Guessing they want the smalltimers to go through Armada or Fastbrokers.

AFAIK, those numbers won't be checked by the broker, and in case of clients from overseas cannot be checked. Its just a cover-your-ass paper for the compliance-department, so if a client bets the farm and loses, they can't be sued. Your account will ...
Oanda wants Current Net Worth/Employment Update, WTF?

That doesn't mean anything. For example, Finland is an AAA country, and has zero Forex regulation. Same thing in Switzerland a few years ago (before they changed the law), the country itself had a good reputation, but due to the lack of fx ...

I dont understand either how its possible that Armada doesn't charge swaps. Sounds like free money. But i guess thats a question for Armada rather than LMax, since lmax does actually charge/pay swaps.

Robik: i 'visually' compared MBT Desktop with 2 other feeds (eur/usd only), and all 3 appeard to match. Certainly no 27 seconds difference. Maybe it depends on the quoteserver you were connected to, its possible that you got a bad one and i got an ...

Yes, first time since like ever, no crosses quotes and no lag. Obviously wider spreads, but it looks like an accurate representation of the mkt, unlike previously.
